Innovative Design of a Multipurpose Decommissioning and Salvage Vessel (MDSV)
National Research and Innovation Agency/BRIN
The MDSV is a purpose-built vessel integrating the functions of a tugboat, heavy-lift barge, and service platform into a single, versatile unit. Engineered for post-operational offshore platform decommissioning, it also performs maritime salvage operations, including lifting, structural repair, refloating, and navigational clearance. This compact and flexible platform offers an economical solution to the growing demand for offshore decommissioning, particularly in regions with ageing infrastructure.
The design was validated at BRIN’s Hydrodynamics laboratory for resistance, manoeuvrability, and LA3 (Aerodynamics, Aeroelasticity, and Aeroacoustics Laboratory) for the superstructure’s aerodynamic evaluation.
Key technologies—dynamic positioning, automatic ballast control, and an ROV with a diamond wire cutter (cutting capacity up to Ø1.07 m)—enable safe, precise operations in diverse water depths.

Bullet-Resistant Steel Based on Lateritic Nickel Ore
National Research and Innovation Agency/BRIN
Bullet-Resistant Steel Based on Lateritic Nickel Ore is an innovative material developed from limonitic laterite nickel ore. Designed specifically for ballistic application, this material combines exceptional hardness (~650 HB) with outstanding ductility (31.3% elongation). A rare mechanical pairing in conventional protective steels.
Through an efficient production chain, Nickel Pig Iron (NPI) processing, steelmaking, and hot forming without special heat treatment, this material achieves high performance with low nickel content (≤1.8%), rivaling the performance of high-nickel ballistic steels.
